You know you're in trouble when the thugs are in the street waving their arms proclaiming vice is virtue, and a system of selective enforcement by a ruling class is a practical and acceptable solution.
- noonespecial 18y agoThe selective enforcement angle is very important however. I don't think the article gives it nearly enough coverage. I think we all know the Ayn Rand quote so I won't subject the thread to it yet again but the idea is important. A deep well of unenforced "submarine laws" is a valuable resource for anyone in power who needs to get control over an individual or group of dissidents.
- LPTS 18y agowhat ayn rand quote? I really worship ayn rand and completely agree with her that we should be as selfish as possible and who gives a shit about poor people when u r rich and they r not and vote republican because democrats are exactly like the cartoon villains in her book. I only wish she wrote a relationship advice column. But i dont know what quote u r saying. Maybe I need to read through all 1,600 pages of her two novels again?
